Ingredients

  • 2 sheets frozen puff pastry thawed
  • 1/4 cup fresh ricotta cheese
  • 1 Bosc pear sliced crosswise
  • chopped walnuts
  • honey
  • organic hazelnut spread melted

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and prepare a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
  • Combine the 2 slightly thawed puff pastry sheets, connecting them on one end (overlapping just an inch) and spread on the fresh ricotta cheese in the center, leaving a 2 inch border around the edge. Layer on the Bosc pear slices and arrange however you want. Fold over the edges of the puff pastry, creating a border of pleats all around. Top with the walnuts and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for about 3-5 minutes. Drizzle on just a touch of honey and lots of organic hazelnut spread. Enjoy immediately!

 

 

More on Nocciolata Organic Hazelnut Spread:

“Quality ingredients produce superior taste. Only certified organic ingredients go into each jar of creamy, dreamy Nocciolata. That means no chemicals, no artificial flavors, no GMOs and absolutely zero palm oil. Nocciolata is still made following the Rigoni’s exclusive family recipe. It is a slow process that uses only carefully selected ingredients like dark chocolate from the Antillean Islands, Italian hazelnuts (16%), brown sugar, skim milk and Bourbon vanilla extract.”
